With South West Conveyancing again on board for 2020 and tremendous support coming via KFC, The Lady Bay Resort, Performance Racegear, GJ Gardner Homes and KRE Race Engines the Classic again promises to be an exciting three nights of Sprintcar Racing!

The three drivers, James McFadden, Peter Doukas and Grant Anderson, have taken advantage of being able to enter early having already lodged their entries.

The 2017 Classic Champion finished 5th in 2019, however his campaign in the USA, which netted James a Knoxville 360 Nationals Crown, an eighth place finish in the 410 Knoxville Nationals, Four All-Star Circuit of Champions victories from just 14 Feature Race starts, as well as four top 5 finishes with the World of Outlaws, will hold him in great stead ahead of the Australian summer and another tilt at the Classic.

Having produced a career best 10th place finish in 2018, 2019 proved a little tougher for Warrnambool’s Peter Doukas.

A tough qualifying night saw him mired in the B-Main before he rallied on the final night of competition moving forwards in his heat before winning C-Main 2 and again going forward in the second of the B-Main’s where he wound up his Classic run with an 11th place run.

For 2020 the always wonderfully presented Peter Doukas number 98 entry will again enjoyable plenty of local support as he lives out yet another chapter in his childhood dream at the Grand Annual Sprintcar Classic.
